Cosmogony (2011-2012) explores the poetic symbolism of global creation myths. There are countless cosmogonies, which over millennia seek to tell the story of the creation of the cosmos. In this series miniature forest dioramas form a stage to depict nocturnal scenes suggesting beginnings. Cosmogonies are alluded to, woven together and made new. These photographs of constructed landscapes reference the idea of origins but also attempt explore the inherent surreal qualities of a photograph to depict a world that occupies a liminal space between reality and fantasy.
